    • 1955, Liverpool Science Fiction Society, advertisement hung by hotel bar:
      Drink Blog!
    • 1959, Terry Carr & Ron Ellik (as Carl Brandon), “The Witch”, in The BNF of Iz:
      "Why, we've got the greatest defense of all, right here," said the Lion. "We can all drink a little Blog, and hoaxes won't affect us. After all, Blog cures everything, from gafia to snake-bites."
    • 1981 November, Brown, Rich, “Up Here in the Dream Nickle”, in Science-Fiction Five-Yearly, number 7, page 9:
      The waitress sized me up and evidently my aura met with her approval because she came over, smiled the smile of professional waitresses and left a mimeographed drink list. I had no time to be surprised by the list, which included selections such as Xeno, Blog, Grog, Nuclear Fizzes, "Smoooooth" Jack Daniels, India Pale Ale and Bheer (Home Brew 25¢ extra) because it was at this point that my old friend Ichabod wandered up.
    • 1997 February 23, Don Fitch, “Fan Drinking (Was Re: The Death of the SF Bestseller?...)”, in rec.arts.sf.fandom, Usenet, message-ID <19970223083900.DAA05871@ladder02.news.aol.com>:
      That doesn't explain why I haven't seen anyone objectionably drunk at Minicons over the past five or six years. There's generally kegs of three or more different and excellent micro-brewery beers in the consuite, along with Blog (which is alcoholic by definition, when unmodified), and other alcoholic drinks are available at a dozen or more of the open room parties.

    • 1960, Rich Brown & Paul Stanbery, The Golden Halls of Mirth, published 2006-07-19:
      The earliest form we know about composed before Rhysling was blinded, at some drinking bout, and the verses concerned what he would do at the SoLaCon I—if he could find enough blog, a mimeo, and a few willing femmefans.
    • 1994 June 7, David E Romm, “Re: To Ghost or Not To Ghost...”, in rec.arts.sf.fandom, Usenet, message-ID <71443.1447-070694144409@dialup-3-152.gw.umn.edu>:
      The closest we came to that was not serving alcohol in the consuite one year. That was a significant success for it's main purpose. We actually came up with a definition of a fan, albeit a partial one phrased in the negative: Anyone who comes to Minicon just because there's free beer in the consuite is not a fan. That year there was more alcohol and more kinds* of alcohol than at any Minicon before or since; all the real fans who liked to drink brought their own and shared. The policy mainly discouraged the jerks who liked to hang out at the consuite and hit on the women. We did that for one year and happily went back to serving beer and blog.
    • 1995 September 4, Lindsay Crawford, “Re: Intersection”, in rec.arts.sf.fandom, Usenet, message-ID <9509042250393785@emerald.com>:
      I can't speak for Faye as ed of FHAPA, but it would be really swell of someone could send us a set of Intersection daily newszines, plus any con flyers or other fannish papers that were there to had for the picking up: fannish things, you know, not including media, gaming, filking or costuming, fine fun but not my cup of blog, thank you.
